Video Game Popcast #3 – Jacob Janerka (Paradigm)

Welcome to the third of our hopefully ongoing series of video interviews, the ‘Video Game Popcast’. In this episode Matthew catches up with Australia’s own Jacob Janerka, designer of the infamous adventure game Paradigm. While trying very hard not to giggle like the fan boy he is (Matt is a huge fan of the game, check out his review here) Matt hits Jacob up with some deep and meaningful questions, in between bouts of talking shit. Which is exactly what these kind of interviews should be about!!

Jacob has kindly given us a copy of his game Paradigm to give away to one lucky winner. To be in the running all you need to do is answer the following question – “What style of game was Paradigm originally and do you want some phat beatsies?”

About The Author

I started gaming in 1982 when my father would bring home an IBM PC XT for work reasons. Naturally after he was done we'd also play some games. In 1983 we acquired the PC full time and I was also lucky enough to receive an Atari 2600 for my birthday that same year. I've been gaming for over 30 years and I've loved every minute of it. Watching games evolve from text and basic visuals to home virtual reality has been amazing. I still have a fondness for the classics though and enjoy collecting 5.25" and 3.5" PC games from the 80's and 90's.
